A workshop will take you through the latest Total Immersion techniques covering in detail the drill sequences and how to build to full stroke. You will learn how to master balance, streamlining as well as effortless swimming.
1 Day “Essential Skills” Freestyle Workshops
This new workshop is based on learning’s Georgie gained at a coach training camp in the US Virgin Islands in January and the latest workshop curriculum as prescribed by TI US.
Over the course of 6 hours we will take you through the drill sequence of Total Immersion “Essential Skills” with the coach explaining each element, demonstrating and then practice sessions on land and in the pool.
The 6 hour workshop starts with balance and streamlining before building to full stroke and breathing using the very latest teaching techniques and will include video analysis with individual feedback. The workshops are literally ‘hands-on’ with the coach spending much of the workshop in the pool with the swimmers. This workshop is designed for swimmers who are wanting to improve their efficiency, distance and speed. For those interested in open water and triathlon swimming the aim will be to give you the skills you need for ease and speed during the swim and save you energy for the bike and run. Videos are taken of each participant at the start and end of the workshop and feedback given. The workshop also includes a training programme with progression from the drills to continuous swimming.
The cost of this workshop is R1700 per person with a maximum of 8 people per workshop.

The cost of a 1 day “Essential Skills Workshop” is R1700 per person.
NB! These “Essential Skills” workshops are designed for swimmers who can swim at least 50 meters without stopping . Any stroke, any style and any standard is fine, the main thing is that swimmers can get into the pool and put their heads in the water. Fitness in either swimming or other activities is also not a requirement. If you are not sure please contact Coach Georgie directly.
